Okay, I am in! Donation on its way on behalf of my Angel Kitty Kitty! Merry Christmas to Rasta and Rasta's family! The Angels are flying today! Better schedule that surgery much earlier because the goal will be met! Don't fret! Keep us updated because there are a lot of worriers on board here...no pun intended! We love them all, whether our own or others!

Oh, dear. Pyometra is an unpredictable and dangerous infection. Things can turn bad so quickly and then the dog is suddenly much weaker for surgery. Is there no 24-hour emergency clinic in the area that will work with IMOM?

Since Rasta's surgery is so early...what time did they say NO MORE food or water??

She has to have an empty stomach for surgery...AND...just in case she has to spend the night...take a towel or tee shirt with either your scent or your daughters so she will know that her family is with her...

Did the vet say whether this was an "open" pyometra, where there is a discharge? Open pyo is not quite as time-sensitive as "closed" pyo, because some of the pus is draining out of the uterus. (Sorry if that sounds gross!) Closed pyometra is much worse because there's no drainage, so the uterus keeps filling up with every passing minute. This is a true medical emergency.
